Own those Deadlifts, Carson!!

I'm using the safety bar that you recommended a few years ago. I must say it takes a great deal of concentration to keep the bar going straight down. I'm often leaning too far forward. It seems to pull me forward. Did you have the same issue with it? Have you overcome that? If so, how?

The SSB really is a great back strengthener. Louie Simmons always called the SSB "The Deadlift Bar" because of the positive effects it can have on your Deadlift.
My SSB mainly gathers dust these days, I rarely use it. Right now I'm training to get back in the 500 pound Deadlift Club, but at 62 years of age this time.
I've been doing heavy Conventionals one week and then lighter Snatch Grips the next, and just rotating them. It is working very well for me so far.
Keep up the good training, I believe you can reach your goals. You have the mental toughness, and I believed that strength begins in the mind.
Stay Strong!!
